• Specifically, what elements.

    And Socialists and Facists seem to get along well in France.


  • Militarism, One Party Rule, Command Economy, Health care and Education for all. and some other things which i think are important for a society to value.


  • On a political test you would probably score authoritarian (governement interference in economic and social matters)


  • well i did i got authotarian almost to the highest and as far as left and right were concerned i was between Adolf and Joseph


  • lol that particular test is so useless.


  • @yourbuttocks:

    so true.
    if you even think about any of the questions for a moment, you may change your opinion as they are far too straight forward and leave little room for “i agree, however” or “i disagree, however”. I think my views might put me even further too the left or right, depending on who’s asking the questions (really - i may look much more “right-ish” than as would appear on these forums)


  • I like the test used by Libertarians, because it is so applicable to American Politics.

    I exactly like that in the test:
    you have to make up your mind! No howevers, no buts, no excuses :)
    If you had a “don’t know” in the middle, everyone would have picked that. But like this you have to decide what is more importatn to you…. the “however” or the “agree/disagree”.

    cute, but for most of the questions i just flipped the dice in my head. If i wrote it after a beer, i would have come out with more “positive” answers.

    Yeah, if you want to see how data is manipulated by the givers to achieve the “desired” result… :-?

    all of mine (great grandpareents) were immigrants too except for the one descedened from the guy that came over on the ship with the mayflower

    Dude: those Pilgrim folks on the Mayflower and the other ships were all immigrants! Just earlier immigrants. What do you prefer to call them, colonists? Maybe that leads to interesting distinctions – explorers, colonists, settlers, immigrants. To the native nose, maybe they all had a similar scent… although some, like the fur trappers, had a way of blending in better.

    @StrongBad1988:

    i bet the germans and the irish ancestors of yours fought on the north side and the english /scandanavian sides of yours fought for the south, or am i wrong? i just generally know that germans usually sided with the north, as well as irish ( i’m pretty sure both of them didn’t like slavery)

    I am trying to decide if this was insiteful or a good guess.

    My Dutch/Irish/German relatives are in Michigan and were there at the time of the Civil War and served with the Michigan units, Cavalry and Infantry.

    My Scandanavian/Cherokee relations are in Louisiana and were there at the time. I don’t have any records for them yet but I have been told they served as well.

    The problem is that alot of my family came to America early and I assume left ties to europe behind before the Civil War.


  • Well, I don’t know the percentages, but here goes.

    Spanish (which is Latina)
    French
    Canadian (I nearly hesitate to admit it)
    African (don’t know which tribe since unimportant things like tribal identity got lost in the muddle of slavery)
    Native-American (I say that only to be politically correct; I’m from a tribe in southern Arizona; they called themselve the Papago but they changed their name and I don’t remember what it is)

    Whatever the percentages are, when they’re added together they equal:

    100% AMERICAN
    :D


  • Well said. :wink:

    Native-American (I say that only to be politically correct; I’m from a tribe in southern Arizona; they called themselve the Papago but they changed their name and I don’t remember what it is)

    Actualy most Tribes didn’t name themselves. They useualy refered to themselves as “The People” or “People” in their language. The Papago were named that because it means “Bean Eaters” in an other language. They now call themselves the Tohono O’Odham which means “Desert People”. Don’t bother trying to pronounce it like most tribal words it sounds nothing like it looks. ;) I belive they say it Toe-no O-dam.

    I live here in Arizona and I studied anthropology for a while, mostly because I think it is interesting.


  • I don’t think Canadian is an ethnicity.


  • 70% Irish
    10% Scottish
    10% English
    5% French
    5% Eastern European


  • Thanks, dezrtfish, that’s cool! I think it interesting though: I love beans, and I like the desert. I love coincidences like that.

    I don’t think Canadian is an ethnicity.

    I guess not, cuz with the way people make fun of Canadians there would probably be like a 30% rise in hate crimes (verbal) if it was considered an ethnicity. Ha ha. :D

    typical Americentrism
